Small Business Facts

Benchmarking is something that is a challenge for many small business owners. It is hard to get general information about specific issues faced by entrepreneurs as their businesses grow.

Denny Dennis with the NFIB Research Foundation has introduced a great tool called 411 Small Business Facts to allow for specific searches of all of the small business polls that they have conducted over the years. It is a great tool that allows us to tap into a wealth of information. I have been using this tool as I do research for my new textbook on Bootstrapping.

Next time you have a question about what other entrepreneurs are doing about health insurance, marketing, banking, etc., etc., you now have a tool to make finding out much easier.

That site is indeed pretty useful, but I typically rely on a different type of fact.

If you really want to get ahead with your small business, you should keep in mind these Chuck Norris Facts too!

Please enjoy these business related Chuck Facts:

If you have five dollars and Chuck Norris has five dollars, Chuck Norris has more money than you.

When Chuck Norris sends in his taxes, he sends blank forms and includes only a picture of himself, crouched and ready to attack. Chuck Norris has not had to pay taxes, ever.
